Bravura seeks submissions Because of an extended deadline the Bravura, Palomar's literary magazine, is still accepting submissions of original, unpublished poems, short fiction, essays, music and lyrics, artwork and photography for the 1985 issue. Published through the English and Graphic Arts Departments, Bravura is circulated annually in the late spring. Anyone having material should
and gave him a run-down of what the position demands. As part of being a mediator, Farrow will talk to lobbyists and do a lot of public speaking. "One week he (Craig Hall) spoke to 12 different organizations," Farrow said with a touch of apprehension. Each presidential term has eight different student liaisons in the Department of Education, a different student every six months. Farrow's paid position will terminate in September. The 23 year-old man received an application in the mail which was sent to student government executive officers of colleges. Four finalists were picked from the 35-40 applications and resumes received. These finalists were flown to Washington, D.C., for their interviews on February 19. Before leaving, Farrow consulted with Congressman Packard and Assemblyman Frazee about the questions dealing with the Department of Education. Farrow arrived at the state capitol on Sunday evening, February 17. On Monday he met with Packard, watched a parade, toured, shopped and sharpened up for his interview the following day.

By Cyndie Claypool His eyes glittered, a smile spread across his illuminated face exposing a pair of dimples, electricity filled the office. "Are you sure you called the right person?" Kevin Farrow, Associated Student Body president, excitedly spoke into the receiver. Farrow was speechless for a moment before he explained the great changes that would be occuring in his life and at Palomar due to that one phone call he received February 22. Farrow will be resigning in midMarch from his position as president to fill a job he "won" in Washington, D.C., as the Student Liaison officer within the United State Department of Education. The LaCostan will be representing all students and be the mediator between the nation's schools and the Department of Education. "My main job will be as a communicator," he explained. "111 be informing schools about President Reagan's budget cuts." He will also be discovering the needs and concerns of the individual schools. The previous student liaison Craig Hall, whose term ended in March 1985, informed Farrow of his acceptance
required. Concluding the spring offerings will be "Flights of Fancy- An Exploration of Recreational Aviation," Saturday, May 4 and Sunday May 5. The seminar will include the fundamentals and techniques used in soaring, parachuting, hot-air ballooning and ultra-light aircraft. Each area will be covered by an expert. Palomar aviation instructor Jerry Houser will coordinate the seminar from 8:30 am. to 4:30 p.m., May 4. Field trips are optional May 5 from 2 p.m. until late afternoon. A fee of $25 is required. For more information on the spring semester workshops or registration information, contact the Palomar Education Office, 744-1150 or 7277529, Ext. 2155.
The confident Farrow walked into the office "looking good" in his threepiece suit, when he noticed the other three gentlemen, up for the same position, clad in the same type of garments. He knew it was competition. However, all must have gone well in D.C., considering that Farrow will now leave his presidency at Palomar for a student liaison job miles from home. "I really regret not being able to finish out my term," he said sorrowfully. "We (ASB) have had a very successful year." He especially regrets leaving at this prime time of activites, with the May Fair, Physically Limited Sports Day, and the ASB banquet coming up. In his mind, Farrow is already making plans to return to California for the May Fair. Among all the excitement, sorrow, resignations and numerous newspaper and T.V. interviews, Farrow has to make plans for his living quarters in Washington, D.C. However, he is optimistic about finding housing, since his parents and friends have contacts for him in the nation's capitol. The next ASB president has not been decided on as of date, but newly elected vice president Bob Klug will probably be appointed. Four new members were sworn into the Associated Student Body February 20 by president Kevin Farrow at their weekly meeting. Bob Klug has filled the vacant seat of vice president which Danny Pray had left. Klug is currently involved as the director of the Food Bank, chairperson of the May Fair, Public Relations chairperson of Palomar Pepsi seventh annual Physically Limited Sports Day and representative of the Diesel Mechanic club. Shawn Christy and Harold Skinner are the two new senators who were voted in by the seven members of ASB. Paul Dockery joins Mohanned Almuzani as a fellow judicial advocate. The judicial advocates check the constitutionality of everything and act as exofficio members at the Wednesday meetings. Currently , there is one opening for judicial advocate and one opening for senator. Seats were left vacant due to clashing schedules of the previous members. For details on becoming part of ASB, contact Marylin Lunde in R-21A
